“While we are investigating the cause of the Network outage, we wanted to alert you that it may be a full day or two before we’re able to get the service completely back up and running,” Sony spokesman Patrick Seybold wrote.

Talk about terrible timing. This week saw the launch of Mortal Kombat, Portal 2 and SOCOM 4, all of which have an online component. SOCOM 4 is a Playstation 3 exclusive geared mainly towards online play, and includes big incentives to buy the game new. In addition to disabling online play, the PSN outage affects the Qriocity music service, Netflix, MLB.tv and any other service requiring a PSN login.

Still, this isn’t quite as severe as the PSN problems that occurred in March 2010, when a leap year issue caused some users to lose data just by turning on their consoles. Sony didn’t relay that message to its customers until 16 hours after the first reports emerged.

Calm down tough guy, You must have a pretty lame life if your that angry over not being able to use the ps3 for a day or too. Got nothing else to do? Try some self discovery and realization on who you choose to be and realize how pathetic and weak you are to this life.

I love how its says “the possibility of targeted behavior by an outside party"…listen they messed up big and now its someone else fault? This is purely Sony's fault. The fact that they are blaming someone else is childish.

No really it is from an outside source.. there is an open network hack that ppl have been using to freeze up the network and possibly the ps3 itself. Major problems with online games that track stats as a dc for u is a lose and the other side gets a victory if u dc.

because "tripping over a cord" takes about 5 seconds to fix. The proof is in the situation. In experience with system administration and maintenance, both microsoft and sony get their worst problems sorted out after less than a day. If the projected time is between 1-2 days it can easily be inferred that whatever happened is pretty big and out of the norm.

I am NEVER getting playstation plus. It's insanity, It's extortion, it's just another way to squeeze the money out of their customers. If you agree to their crap, you're giving them your balls, and I prefer to keep mine, thank you.

I thought xbox's overheated more than ps3's? and the red rings….I have an old 20 gig I've had since the ps3 launch and it's never had an issue. It doesn't matter anyway they are the same. It's all a matter of personal preference really. I'm not gonna bash 360 I just personally don't like it (I had one, never played it).

it's going to be fixed soon anyway, PS3 is far better then xbox anyday of the week!
PS3 has a Blue ray player, free online, and internet browser. what does the xbox have…red ring of death, pay for online. thats it. PS3>Xbox

It wasn't anonymous as 'they' claim they have nothing to do with this. Most likely it is sony's response to security flaws in their system and they are taking steps to reinforce it. Did any of you guys forget there was sort of an earthquake and tsunami and fires and obama that happened in japan? Hmm, I wonder if that has anything to do with the telecommunication infrastructure out there whatsoever.

Besides, anonymous aren't even hackers. Anyone can download a program with runs a repeating ddos attack. Just because some retard gets a program to do this and enters in an ip address isnt hacking. It is ping spamming. Don't give credit where none is due. Not to mention most of the 'anonymous' babies won't be doing stuff like that anymore as it is illegal and the authorities have been arresting morons that are doing this sort of stupid annoying teenage stuff. Do a google search on the wikileaks anonymous arrests. All of them deserve a nice long stretch in jail. Fracking idiots.

Well said….these geeks act like a day or two is a millenium….c'mon. These are the same ppl talking sh*t to people online that they wouldn't ever f*ck with in real actual life….drink a soda, bang a b*tch, jerk off…but stop complaining for a free online service…..

looking this up for the hubby and……..sorry but all I can say is YYYYYAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!………I get to actually watch some movies with him instead of the COD. Sorry for the others he is going crazy as well as yall

Yep, Anonymous has gotten to them. It is a shame that a group like Anonymous would do something out of spite to try and affect PSN but they make us suffer! They claim Sony is hurting the "innocent". Are we not the true innocent?? I paid good money for my PS3 and should be able to use it when I want to, not when Anonymous deems it fit for me to play it. They are lame and I hope the government takes them down! Just know EVERYONE gets caught eventually! Yes I will wait for PSN to come back up. I agree with the copyright act and GeoHot should be sued. He would not want anyone manipulating an invention that he took time to come up with and had a patent for!

No disrespect to xbox fans but I tried xbox 360 brand new before ps3 and a week later I had the red light.exchanged and 2 months later same thing.bought ps3 next and it's still running like new.so I can easily wait a day or two to play online for "free" again.yeah it sucks but so does having a $300 or more system just stop working for no reason when it's made by a billionaire!get my point??

Look, we're going to have to wait, it's not like we're never ever going to play with the people we've met online ever again and never play the games ever again, it's free, unlike xbox which you have to pay for which is a load of rubbish in MY opinion, people with PS+ are moaning because they paid for that, you pay for content, not for service, don't complain, it WILL be back up, don't panic.. go outside.

So wtf happend? why is PSN down anyway? why dont they just turn it back on? im bored i bought Crysis 2 to play and its the dumbest damn game i ever played and was gonna play some cod and BAM network down.

This is ridiculous! We all suffer from some hackers trying to take revenge, probably fan boys who got too pissed off at COD. My day off and I get up to PsN not working! I don’t know why I switched to ps3, in two months I had more problems with my new ps3 slim, and the network than in 2 years with the xbox, and xbox live. Not to be choosing sides, both systems are good, each with flaws and benefits, but sony better get their act together, because no one is happy, and there have been many other incidents that I have heard about in the past. O well technology now a days.

there should really be a way to fix things without shutting it all down. i mean why buy new games 4 the online function if u don't even know from day to day if it will work.they need need to put this warning on their games"WARNING IF YOU R BUYING THIS GAME FOR THE ONLINE FUNCTION IT MAY FAIL"

sony CAN protect themselves against this, but some bean counter at sony didnt want to spring for the right protection, so ANONYMUS is probably the company who is pissed because they lost a sale and hacked their sh*@! just a thought.

This can't suck anymore….I have a ps3 themed teen night with no way to sign in…AND NO i CAN'T DO SOMETHING ELSE. I tore my acl and cod blck ops is my salvation until I can work again. The kids are furious about teen night and now we are trying to get a throwback video game theme with n64 and nes altogether in one day! Wish me luck!

haha i hope someone did attack them their retarded for ever stopping people from hacking so what if they want to jailbreak their systems it's there fukn system, the people pay good money for it just let them do what they want your getting rich so F off…leave hackers alone

only PlayStation will have this issues, from crappy downloadable games, anonymous system restarts to a crappy and hackable network. o by the way thanks for sending me an email that i will be getting on the network. SMH, i should trade this junk in!

damn all u wieners should go buy a xbox that way we dont have to listen to ur weinin asses,so its down big deal go out and get some sun now u have no excuses for urselfs burn some fat off and maybe ull be around a little bit longer ps3 take as long as u need so that u can fix it and fix it right

Playin COD4 for now…..then it's back on Black Ops to destroy all of you. You should feel lucky that it's down so that your Kill/Death ratio doesn't fall because of me. Enjoy the couple days because when it comes back up I am going to be so angry with this situation that I am going to take it out on the NOOBS that play Black Ops.

Virus attack spreading out of control I bet. To sum it up, first thing you do with a network is take it offline to assess damage, diagnose servers & try and get those viruses off before bringing em back online. Or it could be they underestimated online activity from new releases' online activity. Remember COD MW2 network crash? Madden seems to crash EA yearly too, on its release date. Ugh…oooh, what's that thing? Oh a book? Left to right? Top to bottom? Guess I'll give that a try meantime haha

Hay techs! I have been up for 12 hours now, i would like to play some COD online right about now… I agree with all of you guys, "we might just have to wait a little while, whats the big deal"????? So what it will be up and running again, just give it some time… P.S. PS3 is better than X-Box anyday!!!!!!

"In addition to disabling online play, the PSN outage affects the Qriocity music service, Netflix, MLB.tv and any other service requiring a PSN login."

yeah, and the reason why these services require a PSN login in the first place? And honestly, how long would the update take that would allow these services to work *without* the PSN login. 10 minutes? 15, tops? just comment out the code requiring the PSN login as it ethically should have been in the first place you paranoid nazi's.

wow. a couple of days to rebuild firewalls encryptions etc.. yay me i get to update my system again when psn comes back up 😐
p.s. black ops is just call of duty 4 update:| nazi zombies graphic revert. n e way not knocking ps3 cuz when psn is up, ill be back. while it aint workin. ill be playin xbox. btw systems are = depending on what game genre u like. mmorpg shooter 1v1 fighting etc.

I don't understand why people say xbox is better. Ps3 can do so much more than the xbox can. You can upload movies, pics, and music straight to the ps3. The xbox won't let you upload movies onto the hardrive unless you buy them from them. Plus the ps3 has it's own web browser and ps home….so tell me how in the world xbox can be better?

wish i would have had some warning from playstation i set my ps3 to factory settings lastnight hoping it would fix it when i didnt and i googled it, then saw it was down then i spent the next three hours trying to reset all my controllers, bluetooth, game and movie settings and passwords thanx playstation for the heads up ….NOT I sux I like you so much I need my battlefield fix tho, i almost went to walmart to get bfbc2 for pc as a temporary solution but im lazt so ill wait

That is your own fault for not doing research before hand. It's not Sony's job to hold your hand. Sony doesn't have to compensate you anything because you don't pay to play online games, PS plus is not an online service, it just gives you free stuff and discounts. People always want money for nothing.

As for the x-box fanboys, before you starting throwing dirt on the PS3, remember that you pay for XBL and XBL does down too. XBL went down for 2 whole weeks once.

Last thing I need to say is those sticking up for the hackers, you are losers like they are. When you create your PSN account you accept their terms of use. If you violate the agreement, they have a RIGHT to go after you. So stop saying Sony is violating your right,s you are violating theirs. Companies have the right to protect themselves from people like this.

I agree. I bought a PS3 and it did eventually get the YLOD. I paid Sony their fee and it was replaced with a refurbished system. I also bought a XBOX 360 and it did eventually get the RROD. Microsoft got their fee and I got another refurbished system. So who should I bash? I think I'll go after the game producers that make games I want exclusive to a particular system. I hate you guys. P.S. Thank God the Wii sucks. I don't wanna spend anymore money on my gaming needs.

Such is life. These things happen. I personally, am sick of people whining. Its a free ‘service’ as it should be. With the money we spend on consoles, games, our internet providers and misc. IT SHOULD BE FREE, only an idiot would pay microsoft to play online. So to everyone who cries about a few days down time on their free online service from Sony… Join the other fools on xbox. Thats less whiners i have to listen to online when Sony resolves the issue. To Sony; Thanks for your services and keep up the hard work. No complaints here. Take your time, let the whiners pick up a book or even a bottle of acne treatment for a change.

I talked with a customer service rep in billing yesterday and she told me my credit card stored information was fine and I quickly asked why it was hard to get logged in or make any purchases once I did get logged in, and she said (and probably got in trouble for telling me) that PSN starting with a new update to the PSN store, was revamping their entire user interface, so it could handle faster online multiplayer games and other media. In other words there is no attack, just a major update in the works!!!!

pfft… -,..,- My main account is banned anyways. LMFAO!!! u loose i win, lol! with the psn being down stalls time for OddCrysis to come back WOOT !!! ^,….^*; B4 the end of this month my main account will be back, and i don't have to look anywhere neer like a n00b on [email protected] Yay me!!! i can endure 2 days no problem but if it was like 4 days or longer, WE GOT A CRYSIS ON OUR HANDS!!! O,…,0

oops, i did not try to post 2 comments, my bad y'all U,..,U-
i forgot i set my laptop on 1 click, because i got tired of double clicking, wanted to try something new, forgot to click once, 1 thing else is should say about that?
I fk<n Failed! U_U-

I own both 360 and ps3 and I hope anon gets both parties. could care less. the purpose is pure and clear. make everyone liable for their greed. some times to win the war you have to take out some innocent people. well we are all innocent and there cause is higher than your need to play your $70 video game. here is an idea (and i am gonna do this too) go outside. celebrate the upcoming holiday, if you are not religious, go ruin someone's holiday. do something else. we live in a wonderful world where we have psn and xboxlive, there is a whole world out there virtual or real…..abuse it. by monday, you can set your fat ass back on the couch like myself and go back to playing mortal kombat. anon did not take your freedom,( if they are responsible), they are only trying to do what you, as a uneducated consumer who has dispensable income or just wont pay your phone bill, does not have the knowledge or the nuts to do. Rock the corp. boat. Hate me love me but at least believe me…….. we will all be on in due time and maybe…….just maybe, this will be for the better.

Sony should be embarrassed by the way they're dealing with this issue. When you call customer service you get a message saying that "the network is down and should bwe back up shortly". Same message for the past 3 days. At least they removed that stupid error code when you try to log in… now it says they're undergoing maintenence, Do they really think we're that stupid???

Damn I turned on both my PS3 and Xbox. Xbox Live was a go with COD and PS3 said error 87016ASSWIPE!! I guess I am forced to play with my Xbox 360 fam untill Sony plugs back up the network noobz! Its Ok need to get my rating up on Xbox anywayz..peace in love and games..LOL!

Let me tell it to you. i work at the PS3 network and i control what happens and the process to fix it, and this will probably take until sunday, where people won't even play because its easter and this is because ps3 hates people. So don't expect the server to be up until sunday peeps (easter joke hahaha im so funny).

Someday, we will get a pair down low and start cutting off the hands of these hackers. A slap on the wrist does nothing to deter this. Loosing a hand will make some think twice about hacking sites, plus they will be easily identified in public for us to take some personal justice out on their punk xxx. If they want to do soemthing good with their hacking skillz, go hack some terrorits websites.

Heres whats goin on. I work for PSN so i'll tell u the whole story. Hackers hacked Playstation Network so that nobody would be able to log in. If you notice, PSN has gotten it under control and we might be able to get it up and running again. In the past day, when u attempted to log in, it said An Error Has Occured, but today it says Playstation Network is under maintenance. We have it under control and we will try to get it running today. We are sorry for any inconvience.

The grass is always greener……………..xbox had a "red light of death" or something and they "us/we" compained and said they would go to buying PS3 consoles. all the crying ,$itching and threats are all worthless. everyone should just step out of the matrix for a day "Neos", and take their neglected kids to the park! losers……….

Im Not Switching To Xbox But If Sony Does Fail And There Is No Hope,I Guess That Will Have TO Do…I Just Bought Fallout:New Vegas And Receieved Add Ons…I Cant Put Them In Because Of The Network Going Down -_- hurry up PSN!

All of you that are sooo pissed about psn being down…. have you nothing better to do? Go out and get some fresh air and socialize with real people for a change. I love playing online too and sure, I miss it when I want to play and can't, but seriously… there are worse things in life than not being able to sign into psn…. xbox has just as many if not more problems, so don't get your panties in a knot, it'll be back up so you can shut yourself inside for the next decade.

Dude come on now im thinking i should get an x-box but i cant cause i am a sony person but come on really please get it fixed as soon as possible blacks ops is missing everyone cause we ain't playin it so plz once again hurry up

I havehad both 360 and ps3 right now i am going to buy another xbox i have had nothing but problems with sony their network is garbage and thats where my ps3 went lastnight sick of this i dont have much time to play but when i want to play it never works SONY SUCKS D***

THIS OUTAGE WAS PROBABLY DUE TO A REORGE IN THE COMPANY. A NEW BUYER !!!!!!! A FORWARD WAS GOING AROUND THAT SONY WAS BEING BOUGHT BUY A SECRET BUYER! DID IT HAPPEN OR WAS THIER A GLICH, A HACK? WHATEVER THE REASON DON'T CARE JUST GET BACK ONLINE SO I CAN, SHOT PEOPLE IN THE HEAD ,GET A MELEE KILL ,AND A MULTIPLE FRAG KILL!!!!!! COD: BLACK OPS KICKS ASS YOUR ASS!!!!!!

stupid hackers! its like you cant do anything now a days cause it always gets ruined by someone. plzz fix psn im bored and ''Anonymous" should be arrested for this! this is an outrage i cant believe Sony is just gonna let "Anonymous" push them around like this! this is the last straw if psn gets hacked again im sooo getting an x-box360!

I cant believe Sony is just gonna sit and watch all this crap happen! This is an outrage just cuz "Anonymous" hacks psn Sony is not even trying to fix it! Oh well screw Sony im getting an xbox if they dont fix this Now!

Why you guys crying??…a few days without the network is not the end of the world. Believe it or not but LIFE is happening before you. Go play outside, go on a date or do something. Still be happy that the network is free unlike XBOX. But it would be nice if we all get a free download after this.

look u guys, dont worry about it, u dont need to buy a crapy xbox because of this, sony is doin there best at getting psn back up and working, no doubt when it is back up it will be quicker, mainly because there making psn more bullet proof, so if i was you i would go out and enjoy the easter holidays while you still have it. Just grab some patience, and also, i just have to clear this up, ps3 will never fry or overheat aslong as the fan is still workin, thats why the slimline ps3 was delayed, because sony put it in a steam room and left it on for three days strait and was still working like a queen. Also i havent turn my ps3 off for over a mounth doin b spec endurence racis on gt5 while i sleep and go to school. Now seriously ? Do you think the xbox will keep up wih that? Do you think sony will let a system like that be taken over by some american nerds what still wear fullface braces even though there 24?

what are you guys talking about?
what is this article talking about?
I live in Los Angeles and mine is working perfectly, i just finished playing black ops, used my favorite ak47 shot some online campers in nuketown.

i dont know what r u people talking about? maybe u dont live in the USA.

We ps3 users should recieve atleast a 50 or 25 dollers on our wallet or a free game of our choice for making use wait like this, ps3 users are now migrating to a xbox 360 due to the problem that ps3 is having becausr xbox 360 do not have a situation like this one, i think ps3 should send a reward or something to bring ps3 users back and out of xbox, i mean seriously ps3 will lose money and are because we are not able to get on

X Box better then PSproblems3???????? I dont think so!!! X box has had some of the same problems; there server shut down from black ops, u have to pay to play; I DONT, and it seems like i get a better wireless connection to the PS3 compared to the xbox…

Sorry losers but ps3 will always be better. they got attacked. let them fix the problem and we will be able to play soon enough. i bet if Microsoft got attacked they would cry like lil babies. plus the xbox has enough problems like breaking every two seconds or eating a game. sorry but the crap the xbox makes is nothing compared to playstation

Losing PSN is just about as worse as losing the internet if not any worse. BUT, i know for fact that services such as NETFLIX are not down for the ps3 myself have had nothing else to do but watch movies and shows all day NETFLIX doenot require to be connected to PSN to operateit just takes time to start up. i found it would automaticly try sighning you in ofcorse it wont sign you in, so you tap O?back and repeat if it occures and soon enough you'll be sighne into your Netflix. im not certain about other services but it's worth a try.

Ok if say something bout xbox agian im going to lose it I have both and they bot have flaws and perks ok just bc psn is down doesnt mean u have wine its not going to do anything to help so just go out side and do something it going to be worth the wait if you chill

I had just hit a grand slam on MLB The Show 11 with Jason Heyward in the top of the ninth to take a 8-7 lead against some guy named yankeefan101. If you see this you damn yankee you need to give props!!! WTF Network. Im sueing!!!!

why would sony take there system off line you people are stupid it is costing them money each day , i don't blame sony and am sure they will fix the problem as soon as possible the downfall for us is we are too soon to blame anyone but ourselves so get over yourself and let sony do there job to get us all back online. thank you for what you do for all of us gamers.

Anonymous
Take a break from online gaming for a while…..it will help your skills, your health, and your emotional levels, which by the way are a bit out of order if they are being shackled by the PSN being down. We have no qualms about our actions, even though it may affect fellow anonymous or supporters… we hope they understand the bigger picture.
Thursday I did not write this Anonymous did.

There is a rather large coincidence between the public release of the Steam link on the PSN (April 19th Portal 2 released allowing PSN users to play online with PC/Mac users) and the beginning of the PSN downtime (April 20th). Does it seem possible that this new feature of PSN which probably involved the addition of a firewall hole to allow the Steam network in might have also let something undesirable in? Does anyone see something there?

psh ps3 black ops is whack anyway….all i do is lag lag lag with 100% connection, ill be outside anyway.
PS… keep the network down so these no-life fat ass's can go outside (maybe about 60% of you are fat anyway, no harm to the skinnies)

Yeah, my brother had JUST downloaded Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection, and I had my hopes set of downloading it immediately. But alas, you guys know the rest of the story. And Now I'm leaving for a week without my game. Way to go, Sony. Way to go.

PSN GET IT FIXED BY 25TH OF MARCH OTHERWISE I AM BUYING A XBOX 360 AND NEVER BUYING IT EVER AGAIN AND SCREW THESE LITTLE HACKERS JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO LIFE AND HAVE TO HACK FOR ABSOLUTLEY NO GAIN IN IT

I Got Both but str8 up ps3 is the best the only reason i got xbox was cuz my wife wanted a konect i still rather have gotten ps3move. im a lil upset but shyt happens its out of sony hands as i herd theres nothin to fix a powerful group got in and they still got control this group dnt hack 4 fun theres a reason behind this.. its kinda like if u step out to get ur mail and pplz go in ur house nd lok the door u not gettin bak in until they say so., they r kinda holdin it ransom but like i sed its not for profit or fun as sum1posted earlier theres just sum pplz that u shudnt cross nd it looks like sony did. but i dnt care i hope sony gives in it will probly be the fastest way but it seems they just lookin to play hrdball, good luk to them behind this. nd ps3 is worth the wait fk xbox nd all u sukers talkin bout jumpin ship..

well this blows haha i just got socom 4 and i was looking to owning some people but oh well i just gotta wait. and if you sell your ps3 for an xbox over this your a jackass… just wait a couple days and go outside and do something else for once.

well this blows haha i just got socom 4 and i was looking to owning some people but oh well i just gotta wait. and if you sell your ps3 for an xbox over this your a jackass… just wait a couple days and go outside and do something else for once.

This is total bs. I just love how people are saying its only going to be one or two days and its the frking 3rd day, ad you xbox fas shut up. Id rather play ps3 and wait a week for the problem to be resolved than pay to play online!

from what i heard fail0verfl0w attacked sony's servers, aka george hotz aka geohot, the hacker of iphone and ps3 as far as i know, fail0verfl0w i being accused of taking ahold of ps3's servers. ps3 is trying to keep the problem anonymous becausse they dont want people to find out their information is being held by geohot
you can add me via, psn when/if the severs are up:tommy0central
thanks bye bye

so its been down since late wednesday night. when the hell is it going to be back up? why is it taking sony almost an entire week to fix this? and the fact that they are only talking about giving playstation plus members something for all this is b.s. i think sony needs to give every ps3 gamer some type of playstation points to use at the ps store once this is all fixed. may have to go back to the xbox…

On Monday, the Japanese electronics giant said it is keeping its PlayStation Network videogame service offline indefinitely following a hacking attack it now says may have compromised user’s information.

To ensure the network’s integrity, Sony said it is currently rebuilding the service, which connects more than 75 million PlayStation customers over the Internet, letting them play videogames and chat together. “This is a time intensive process and we’re working to get them back online quickly,” Sony spokesman Patrick Seybold said in a blog post.

Sony is still investigating the “external intrusion” that forced the electronics giant to shut down its network last Wednesday. In an email, the company also said it is also trying to figure out if any personal information, such as credit card numbers, may have been compromised in the attack.

wasnt to impressed with socom 4 why i see it socom days are long behind us now .the more new they put in to it the worse it is . and if sony ever gets back up and running i'lll be on confrontation .hope all the hackers and cheaters would had moved on to socom 4 by then lol

Karma hits Sony and the sony fanboys that always took sony side in the hack trials. You guys are ignorant and still follow sony after they haven’t secured your personal details,etc..yes blame the hackers you fools.

In another type of business, Sony would have to make some restitution. However, there are no SLAs. They protected themselves in the rehashing of their license agreement for product and services. They are too smart…well, thought they were smart. Why wouldn't you protect the personal data of millions of users? An ungodly amount of people bought Playstation Plus in March more than ever before. And puff!!!!

The funny thing about everyone that's wants to get an xbox will shortly find out that this happens all the time on xbox I've had my PS3 for almost 4 years and this is the second time a problem like this has happened actually the first time wasn't even this bad so really it's the first time something this bad has happened lol. I've got an xbox and other than fps games it sucks real talk, Sony for Life G

I can deal with it being down for 2 or 3 days and everyone saying get a life, Yeah, i get that. Down for a few days, no big deal… down for a week, annoying but no big deal… 2 weeks and its time to make something happen. This is BS and I am soo over everyone blaming everyone else. Look, find out who anonymous is and put them in jail, along with every other hacker b/c anyone who hacks is just pathetic, stop blaming sony… it wasnt their fault, they didnt hack their own network. SONY, get it fixed. A bunch of people are already jumping ship, Look at xbox stock! Come on, Dont let me down. Besides Sony has a free network to play on, if ya want to hack something, take down xbox.

They can't….or won't hack Xbox, their system is to strong , being that the sponsor is Microsoft. I am a PSN…..DAMMIT ….I…AM ….A…. PSN !!!!…….come on Sony—-let's do this thing……too long on my ADD & OCD is reaking HAVOC in my community—–cars are crashing, bldg's on fire, children hungry……this is what it has come to !!!!…..for I am the WOFFFF……I am PSN

First of all, on the first day it was a possible outside attack. Then with out any prof of this "possible attack" happening, YOU ALL feed that same "possible attack" to SONY by simply agreeing with it and gave them an excuse to use of why the system failed. Now, a lot of people are scared of their personal information, credit cards and such hacked, taken away and used. (with out any proof of this still to this date…and its been 2 weeks!!) What a waste you all are. I dont understand why anyone in the world would kill the network that they use…Hacking to cheat is one thing but killing the network it and not be able to hack anymore doesnt make sense.

Second, let me just say that everything is man made here. Other than natural things of course (DNA/RNA, the way of life…etc). All the technology, all the power, the monitor you have to read this post, the clothes you have on, the bed you use so you can go to sleep comfortable and sometimes under AC, to wake up the next day to see if PSN is back on, even the language you speak!…I mean EVERYTHING is man made. Im not sure if you ever notice this but…everything that is made by man doesnt really last. Your car breaks down, the lights go out, red lights on XBOX and PS3, PlayStation Network goes out…etc. This is basic human flaw. Personally I dont think anyone "hacked" the network. There is other host servers that went out at the same time. I believe amazon when out and along with a few others. For the guys that want proof of it not been a hacker targeting SONY..

So here is the deal, the server went out….they are making a new one and making it available when they are done….end of story. Dont like it? Get a different system. Other wise just wait for it. This doesnt make the PS3 a bad system. It doesnt make XBOX better. I have a Wii and I play 007 (which sucks in comparison to Modern Warfare 2) but either way I get "migrating host" or "host quitting game" then it boots me out. Same thing with my PS3 when playing MW2. To say its some hackers did it sounds ridiculous. Like a fish getting rid of the ocean water so no fish can swim. Doesnt make sense to me.

So if you dont like whats going on complaining about it and posting ignorant comments isnt doing anything to get it back. Even posting comment like "All I can say is …I am trading my ps3 in for the next sucker that trusts SONY" – by WOFFFF on paige 12. Completely pointless. Dont make an asshat (google it) out of your self.

For instance "Epitrochoid isnerdy"……Nice name…I bet you dont even know what that is. Then "isnerdy" after wards….lol. You are the exact definition of an asshat.

Well i think sony can screw themselves. XBOX is the way to go. I know 3 friends who sold their ps3's and bought XBOX's. I say we all do it. I'm going thru withdrawls not being able to play online with my fellow zombie slayers. How long can this all take? I sure hope when and if they do come back online they have something for us who have been patient and also had our info comprised. Somebody has my cc number now? I smell a lawsuit. Down with ps3 and it times to go xbox live!! See you all there.

HahaHahahaha!!ps3 servers got hacked,it's may10 and the servers still are not up!!Sony keeps this up and there may be no hope for you guys after all!you might as well switch to xbox.why do you think that we pay yearly.Microsoft provides a great server connection.Ps3 sucks anyways.the features are not good anyways. Why would I need enter net on my console when i can whip out my iPad or iPhone and browse safari and stay in the match.graphics are the same as long as you can see you don't need to care what graphics are better. And please! Why in the HE'LL do you need a 10 pound blue ray player to match the other 10 pounds the original console weights.pointless. SWITCH TO XBOX!!!!!So Mch better!!

im sorry to say that the companys are milking joe public out of loads of money for extra map packs while the server is playing up timed out ,takes ages to load the game ,,,cumon ps pull your fingers out and sort out the bloody servers out ,,,, we, us,the public are getting fed up with your crap servers stop milking loads of cash and do something about the crap service we are getting ,,,,, if this is what we are getting now god help you when new games come out mw3 ,,,,,oh dear hope the severs dont go down then ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, i think if i,m not happy i should have a full refund of the game and the console then you will have Big problems ££££££
